FIGURE 261
This spectacular and innovative control surface is the perfect complement to TriCaster 8000. TriCaster
8000’s unparalleled integration of advanced live production technologies offers many exciting new creative
possibilities. Fittingly, an incredibly powerful and innovative control surface is included with the system.
TriCaster™ 8000 CS provides more than just control; it goes well beyond the norm in providing useful
feedback. You’ll quickly find yourself at home with its features and functions.
22.3.1 OVERVIEW
The TriCaster 8000 CS control layout closely conforms to the user interface, the principle exception being
that singular M/E and Position control groups governed by delegate buttons serve the purpose of multiple
controls in the UI.
Controls are comprised of grouped sets including the following hardware types:
 Backlit push buttons
 Twist knobs
 T-bars
 3-axis joystick
22.3.2 DELEGATES AND SYNCHRONIZATION
Both TriCaster’s Live Desktop and the control surface supply delegate button groups to govern other controls.
This is extends the capability of controls and also supports multi-selections, thus permitting simultaneous
operations.
When initially selecting multiple delegates, the settings and states of the individual members selected will
often vary. For example – when you delegate several M/Es at once, the transition Rate for various channels
in the multi-selection could very well be different. Generally, wherever it makes sense to do so, settings for
multi-delegated groups the settings are progressively synchronized as you make adjustments.
